The bright start quickly gave way to low cloud and increasingly frequent and persistent showers. So there were a few jobs to do..... The Gator has been suitably named.

And round the other side of the hangar......
The call had gone out for help on the water pump and treatment room project and in spite of the forecast we had an excellent turnout with willing and good humoured helpers. Nick the digger man had the biggest toys to play with, but everyone mucked in and we managed to excavate and lay a drain to carry roof and field water from the VG hangar to the main system, divert the roof water from the rear of the ground equipment hangar similarly and divert and relay the main incoming BT cable thus clearing the way for access to the void under the main hangar. This now has a concrete base for the building (large cupboard really) which will house the distribution/pressure pump, UV and particle filter and associated pipe and switchgear currently located in a damp, gloomy and cramped subterranean cave.

This has got the project well on the way with the only cost to the club being the materials used.
Many thanks to everyone on the crew, (not necessarily in order of appearance and please forgive me if I have missed anyone) Rowan, Allan M, Simon Collier, Simon Leeson for fetching and carrying, JB, Nick the digger and concrete mixer man, Jimbob, Paul Summers, and Tom the treasurer (who wields a mean shovel). It was a great atmosphere despite the weather. - Peter Smith
